him, save Peter, and James, and John the brother of James.
38 And he cometh to the house of the ruler of the synagogue, and seeth the tumult, and them that wept and wailed greatly.
39 And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but [1] sleepeth.
40 And they laughed him to scorn. [2] But when he had put them all out, he taketh the father and the mother of the damsel, and them that were with him, and entereth in where the damsel was lying.
41 And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise.
42 And straightway the damsel arose, and walked; for she was of the age of twelve years. And they were astonished with a great astonishment.
43 And [3] he charged them straitly that no man should know it; and commanded that something should be given her to eat.
CHAP.VI.
AND [4] he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him.
2 And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, [5] From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands?
3 Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, [6] the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they [7] were offended at him.
4 But Jesus, said unto them, [8] A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house.
5 [9] And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them.
6 And [10] he marvelled because of their unbelief. [11] And he went round about the villages, teaching.
7 ¶ [12] And he called unto him the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits;
8 And commanded them that they should take nothing for their journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no ‖‖ The word signifieth a piece of brass money, in value somewhat less than a farthing, Matth. 10. 9., but here it is taken in general for money. Luke 9. 3. money in their purse:
9 But [13] be shod with sandals; and not put on two coats.
10 [14] And he said unto them, In what place soever ye enter into an house, there abide till ye depart from that place.
11 [15] And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, [16] shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom †† Gr. or. and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
12 And they went out, and preached that men should repent.
13 And they cast out many devils, [17] and anointed with oil many that were sick, and healed them.
14 ¶ [18] And king Herod heard of him; (for his name was spread abroad:) and he said, That John the Baptist was risen from the dead, and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him.
15 [19] Others said, That it is Elias. And others said, That it is a prophet, or as one of the prophets.
16 ¶ [20] But when Herod heard thereof, he said, It is John, whom I beheaded: he is risen from the dead. A. D. 30.
17 For Herod himself had sent forth and laid hold upon John, and bound him in prison for Herodias' sake, his brother Philip's wife: for he had married her.
18 For John had said unto Herod, [21] It is not lawful for thee to have thy brother's wife.
19 Therefore Herodias had ‖‖ Or, an inward grudge. a quarrel against him, and would have killed him; but she could not:
20 For Herod [22] feared John, knowing that he was a just man and an holy, and ‖‖ Or, kept him, or, saved him. observed him; and when he heard him, he did many things, and heard him gladly. A. D. 32.
21 [23] And when a convenient day was come, that Herod [24] on his birthday made a supper to his lords, high captains, and chief estates of Galilee;
22 And when the daughter of the said Herodias came in, and danced, and pleased Herod and them that sat with him, the king said unto the damsel, Ask of me what-
